Chapter 7
It was a few days before the Vampire's Ball and everyone was excited. Mal and Britt had both been avoiding Carlos and Fai because of what happened. Carlos was really trying to get Britt to understand but she wouldn't settle for it. Instead, she started sneaking out of the mansion more recently and wasn't around much. Carlos became worried but never followed her. Fai constantly tried to talk to Mal to see what was wrong with her but she was always around Ren. He soon became very jealous of those two.
"Soo...you never really told me what happened with Fai." Ren stated.
Mal looked away. "I saw him with someone the night the headmaster announced the ball. I went to look for Fai and I found him with Emma." she explained sadly.
Ren looked at her sadly and touched her face. "He fed off her didn't he?" he asked her.
Mal looked at him sadly and started crying. Ren quickly embraced her and closed his eyes. "Im sorry that he hurt you." he said. "I won't ever do that to you." he added.
Fai watched as they hugged and walked away.
"Why the long face?" Emma smirked as Fai walked by.
"Because of you, I've most likely lost Mal to the likes of him." he replied.
"What's that supposed to mean?! You were the one who drank my blood!" Emma shouted.
Fai looked at her. "You forced me to drink your blood. Don't get the wrong idea, I don't like you." he stated.
Emma got furious. "Why do you choose her over me?!" she screamed.
He stopped. "Because..." he started to speak. "I love her."
Emma looked at him in shock as he walked off.
Britt was in the cabin alone with Jae.
"You haven't been home for a while. Why is that?" Jae asked while looking at her.
Britt got sad and started to cry.
"Everything...Everything went wrong! I hate Carlos..." she said while crying.
Jae looked at her sadly and hugged her tight. "Don't cry. I can't stand it at all." he sighed while hugging her.
"Jae..." Britt said sadly.
He smiled. "C'mon let's go to this ball." he suggested.
Britt looked at him in shock. "What?! You can't!" she shouted.
"I'll be fine don't worry. Besides, I can control my warewolf side." he explained while pointing at his necklace. Britt smiled as they both walked towards the mansion.
It was the night o the ball and everyone arrived, dressed all pretty and enjoying their time. The headmaster sat in the main chair and watched everyone very closely.
Carlos arrived with Lily as Fai arrived by himself. He walked over to Carlos and Lily.
"Hey Fai! Doesn't my date look handsome?" Lily giggled.
"Uhh..sure." he replied, not really caring.
"Hey, have you seen Britt?" Carlos whispered. Fai shook his head no.
Just then, Mal walked in with Ren by her side as well as both Becca and Train. Fai looked over in their direction and glared at Ren.
"Hey, what happened between you and Mal?" Carlos asked Fai.
"She saw me feeding off of Emma the other day." he replied sadly.
"So, she came here with Ren?" Lily added. Fai shrugged and walked off. Mal glanced over at Fai and then turned away.
"Do you wanna sit somewhere?" Ren asked her.
"Sure!" she smiled as they walked over to one of the tables and sat down.
Becca and Train joined them.
"Mal...I'm sure Fai didn't mean to hurt you." Becca explained.
She looked away. "I guess but he didn't come to check on me at all. Ren was there for me." she replied.
"I don't trust Ren." Becca said glaring over at him. "Be careful." she added.
Just then, Britt and Jae both arrived and everyone looked their way. She smiled as she walked in and everyone went back to doing their own thing. Carlos looked over and suddenly became mad.
"Why is Jae here?" he said getting mad. Lily looked at him confused.
"I guess he's her date." Fai added while looking at them.
"He doesn't belong here!" he replied.
"Let them be." Fai suggested while walking off.
A few hours passed by and both Britt and Jae sat at the table with Ren, Mal, Train and Becca. Everyone was getting along and noone seemed to notice that Jae wasn't one of them. Ren stood up and held out his hand towards Mal.
"Mal, come with me for a minute." he smiled while holding out his hand. Mal nodded as she took his hand and walked off with him.
Becca watched as they walked off.
"What's wrong?" Train asked her.
"Nothing." she replied.
Britt held Jae's hand as his other arm was wrapped around her waiste. She gently leaned on him and closed her eyes. Carlos kept glancing over at them, not even paying attention to his date.
"Carlos!!" Lily shouted.
"What?!" he shouted back.
"All you've been doing is looking over at Britt and her date! Ugh, it's like you can't stand that guy because he's her date and not you! Just cuz you're in love with her doesn't mean that she's in love with you!!" Lily yelled as everyone looked over at their table.
"I'm leaving!" she said again as she walked off. Everyone then turned back.
"Damn..." Adam said shaking his head.
"Am I really a fool Adam?" Carlos asked looking at the ground.
"I don't know man." he replied. Carlos sighed.
Ren took Mal upstairs and was heading for a room.
"Ren, where are we going?" Mal asked him.
He ignored her as he reached a room and shoved her inside, closing the door behind them.
"Hey! What're you-" before she could finish, Ren forcely trapped her against a wall and drew his fangs.
"I've been wanting your blood since the first day I met you. I can't take it anymore!" he shouted as he licked his fangs.
"Hey! No! Get away from me!" Mal yelled trying to fight him off. Ren grabbed her wrist and felt on her neck with his other hand.
"Calm down baby, It won't hurt. I'll be quick. Besides, Haven't I been the one that was there for you when you needed someone. Fai betrayed you right? He doesn't love you so there's no need to keep your blood from me." he explained as he smirked.
"My blood belongs to Fai and thats all!" she screamed. Ren quickly grabbed her neck and tightened his grip around it. As he moved closer to her neck, Fai busted in and pushed him away from Mal.
"Don't ever put your hands on her again!" he said angrily as he stood in front of Mal.
"Fai..." she said softly.
"How convenient. You came at the right time, but you've already betrayed Mal. How was Emma's blood?" Ren smirked.
Fai quickly grabbed him by his neck. "Emma is nothing to me. She forced me to drink her blood. The only one I love is Mal and I won't let you have her blood." he said angrily.
Ren grinned as he vanished. "You win this time Fai, but I'll be back sometime later." he said as he vanished.
Fai looked back over at Mal and smiled.
"Fai..." Mal said as she started to cry. She then quickly ran over to him and hugged him. "I'm soo sorry!" she added while hugging him.
"Mal, I love you." he said. "I love you too." she replied.
Jae and another vampire had gotten into an argument which led to the middle of the ballroom. Everyone was watching. Mal and Fai both arrived back and saw the ruckus that was going on. They walked over to Becca, Train and Carlos to see what was going on.
"Jae, calm down! Let it be!" Britt shouted pulling Jae's arm.
"No! He pushed you out of the way just so he can get by and didn't even apologize for it. He's a disgrace!" he shouted.
"I'm a disgrace? Really, who the hell are you to come here and say that?" the vampire replied.
Jae got angry and grabbed his shirt. "You're pissing me off!" he said angrily as his eyes started to turn yellow. The moon shined through the window and Britt knew it was getting bad.
"Oh no." Becca said getting scared.
"What?" Mal asked.
"Look at his eyes." she replied. Mal looked at his eyes and seen the diferent color.
"We have to break it up!" Carlos said as he started walking but was stopped by the headmaster.
"No. Let's see where this goes." he said while watching the commotion. Carlos looked at him and back at Jae and the other guy.
The vampire shoved Jae off of him. As he did that, Jae's necklace was knocked off and broken. Britt's eyes widened.
"Jae!!! Get out of the moonlight now!!" Britt screamed.
Jae quickly turned around and before he could do what Britt said to do, the moonlight had already caught his eye and he began transforming. All the vampires and the headmaster watched in shock as this was happening.
Britt ran over to Jae and tried to stop him from transforming.
"Jae! You can't!" she screamed again. Jae was growing nails, eyes turned yellow, hair started growing out from his back, and his clothes started ripping off.
"This is bad!" Becca and Mal both said.
Carlos's eyes widened as well as Fai and Becca. The headmaster stood up in anger.
"That man is a warewolf! Guards! Get him, make sure he doesnt get away!" the headmaster yelled as the guards ran towards Jae..rather the warewolf now.
"NO!!!!" Britt yelled as she stood in front of it. "I won't let you!" she shouted again.
"You betrayed us! You betrayed us all!" the headmaster yelled back. "Take them both! Get them out of my sight! You will be killed tomorrow at sunset!!" he added as he stormed off. The guards took both Britt and Jae to the dungeon and put them in seperate rooms.
"This ball is done with! Everyone go back to your rooms!" the headmaster shouted as he left the room.
"We have to help her!" Mal screamed.
"We can't Mal. we just can't.." Becca replied sadly.
Carlos looked at the ground sadly and walked off. Mal and Becca began to cry. Train took Becca to his room and Fai hugged Mal tightly.
"We really can't do anything?" she asked him. Fai shook his head no. Mal got sad and hugged him again.
Carlos made his way down to the dungeon but was forbidden to see Britt.
"You can't see her." the guard said.
"Why not? I have to see her!" he shouted.
"Carlos, I'm sorry but you can't." he replied. Carlos sighed as he walked off.
"I'll find a way in there somehow." he said to himself as he walked away.
"What have I done...?" Jae said sadly as he started to cry.
